Layers:

1. What ICE/CBP is doing isn't making us safer.

2. When ICE/CBP does their work "the right way," it ALSO doesn't make us safer.

3. Human beings deserve respect and care no matter their status, language, or background. If "leaders" can't say that, everyday people can lead by shouting it.

No children in concentration camps

"...we cannot allow ourselves to become spectators, centering all of our attention on whatever city is the current epicenter of roving ICE attacks. We must recognize that this is a broad, long struggle, and that its fronts are everywhere." @mskellymhayes.bsky.social

DHS Secretary says filming ICE is illegal and amounts to doxxing.

They’re absolutely wrong.

Recording law enforcement in public spaces is protected by the First Amendment — and courts have affirmed that right time and again.

We are seeing a new terrifying reality on a daily basis. Trump's DHS mob are killing US citizens, kidnapping kids from their schools and terrorizing hard working immigrants. Call your Senators TODAY and tell them don't fund ICEs terror campaign!

In Commemoration of Black History Month, “Let Us Be Faithful Stewards of Memory,” Say Bishop Garcia and Bishop Campbell "This February marks one hundred years of commemorating Black history in the United States. This milestone is an opportunity for us to prayerfully reflect on...

"Although we may at times encounter people or situations in our country that seek to erase ‘memory’ from our minds and books, it can never be erased from our hearts. May our reflections strengthen our faith and communities. Let us be faithful stewards of memory.”

For there is no adequate way in which it can keep itself informed about what the people of the country are thinking and doing and wanting.”
